JOBLESS mother-of-11 Heather Frost, at the centre of a benefits storm over the £400,000 council house being built especially for her, has paid for her partner to have flying lessons.

Frost has already been accused of taking taxpayers for a ride following claims she was pocketing enough benefits to keep her own horse – and had tried to buy two more.

Now it has emerged she treated partner Jake Martin, 57, to a special Christmas gift beyond the budget of most hard-working families – microlight lessons, which cost up to £115 an hour.

The lessons were believed to been at Gloucestershire Airport near her home in Churchdown on the edge of Gloucester.

Her jet-set lifestyle was revealed by Jake’s daughter Leanne, 34, who said: “She loves to brag and boast about what she’s got. She once bought Dad microlight lessons for Christmas and likes buying gifts for all of her ­neighbours.”

Leanne claims she herself is struggling to make ends meet after losing her job as a cleaner. She shares a small flat with her mother in Tewkesbury.

It is just two miles away from the six-bedroom property the local council has agreed to build especially for Frost and her family.

Tewkesbury Council has arranged for the 1,855 square foot environment- friendly home to be built on a new housing development due for completion in June.

Leanne said: “We’re struggling to survive and she’s being given a new house — I’m really angry.” She claims she used to “idolise” her father before he met Frost and went on to father six of her children.

Critics are furious following revelations of Frost’s lifestyle. Tory MP Peter Bone said: “It shouldn’t be down to taxpayers to support someone who most people would say has acted in an irresponsible way.

“Most people work hard and find it difficult to get by. It causes an enormous amount of resentment that taxes are being used in such a way.”

Frost currently lives in two semi-detached houses which have been joined together to fit in partner Jake, two grandchildren and her children Sophie, 21, Toby, 19, Angel, 16, Jay, 14, Chloe, 13, Paige, 11, Emily, ten, Beth, eight, Ruby, seven, Daisy, five, and Tilly, three.
